Thanks for reminding me that, in addition to all the other stuff I've been tryng to do, I also signed up for the Experimental Game Project. I've been trying to bend the rules and doing the game over 7 non-consecutive days, but I fear I still won't finish it.posted by hellojed at 1:16 PM on March 28, 2010

I got 12 apostles, trained them as my generals, incited a riot, deposed Caesar and installed myself on the Roman throne as Lord Emperor for all Eternity. The game is much easier if you have a theological education and read Harry Turtledove.posted by Pater Aletheias at 1:40 PM on March 28, 2010 [12 favorites]

Took me a few tries to work out that ten seconds is the time limit and you get crucified whether you "complete" jesus's life or not. I might be reading too much into it, but that seems to say a lot about the futility of achieving anything in life...posted by radioedit at 1:45 PM on March 28, 2010

A story about that link:
We've taken to haunting the local 24-hour Wal-Mart super late at night. There is this Bible bookshelf place that sells obnoxious fundie Christian stuff. The book linked to there has been on that shelf for like two years now. Every time I go by I try to make a new video game joke. "Tells you how to collect all the mana!" "The alternate costume makes him look like Muhammad." "There's a cheat code that allows for infinite loaves and fishes!" "Get the best ending and you still die, but you come back to life three days later." "In the sequel you go to outer space!" And so on. The "Buddha as alternate playable character" joke has been done, or one like it. But I ran out of joke ideas long ago.posted by JHarris at 1:37 AM on March 30, 2010
